  Back in my day, trampolines didn’t come with walls. You just flew off the side, or got your legs jammed between the springs. Bah! Kids today!

    I haven’t broken many bones, but every bone I’ve broken broke during an unplanned trampoline dismount.

      I haven’t broken many bones, but every bone I’ve broken wasn’t one of mine.

      I’ve enjoyed many hours on trampolines and have never broken a bone or incurred any injury whatsoever.

    I think this every time I see a trampoline with the walls and stuff.

    Getting double bounced by an older siblings and launched into the stratosphere is truly terrifying.

    Yup, my mom bought one for my brother and I. Just a rectangle with exposed springs. No pads, no walls or nets.

    We never did get hurt, but man, we could do that double-jump timing thing and send each other ridiculously high.

      I like to think of it as rage in the cage, like wrestlemania but for kids

    I was a child before ball pits were really a thing. I do have very young toddlers now though. Ive heard that theyre super duper unhygienic? Makes sense I guess.

      For germs, a ball pit is like rolling around on a bathroom floor.

  You need to tie the opening shut if you plan to leave them unattended, though. Even then, they can get out, the slippery little bastards.

  When I was in grade school there was a girl in a wheelchair that would make the circuit of school assemblies warning of the evils of trampolines. Never touched one to this day.

    What if you don’t inhale?

      That was the slogan for the ‘Don’t Inhale Electronic Duster Even Though It’s Fun And Easy To Steal’ assembly they had the week after.
